Since the inception of the Charter Standard programme the League has been encouraging member clubs to achieve the award. 95% success was achieved two year’s ago and it was considered approrpriate to try and achieve Charter Standard status for the League itself. Considerable time has been spent by Ian Thornton and Kath Rickaby, members of the Management Committee, in drawing up the League Statement for submission to the Football Association.
Many requirements of the Football Association have already been achieved in advance of the Award. Other targets for the League include retention of clubs and players; observance of the FA “Respect” policy; help for team captains to comply with their “Respect” responsibilities, short coaching sessions aimed at giving clubs ideas for improving sessions, help with improving club organisation, etc.
